It's Got to Be the Morning After

-Ahh, remember those days when Warriors fans were all giddy and happy and dreaming playoffs? Like last week? Well, those days are over in light of a thumping by the San Antonio Spurs, 126-89. The headline on SFGate says it all: Lottery Bound? It's the first time the Warriors have lost two in a row in a month and their first blowout with their full lineup intact. They are now two games in back of the Clips for the eighth spot in the playoffs and Ray Ratto thinks the only thing that can save the Warriors is that all the other teams competing for the last playoff spot stink just as much as the Warriors do.

-The new NFL schedule is out and somehow, the 49ers got the first Monday Night Football game of the season.

-Armando Benitez speaks.

-Mark Sweeney might not be a Giants for much longer.

-The battle for the A's fifth starter heats up. Or, all things considering, warms up.

-Carl Steward of Inside Bay Area says neither the A's nor the Giants will be playing in October.

-Wheee! It's another "what will the Raiders do with their draft pick" story.
